He's Not Kidding, Tunica Food Really Is Like That

[MemBirdman 0]

Everything down south is deep fried, dipped in vats of lard and coated with big chunks of salt. I'm a big guy, but I won't touch the southern "cuisine" around here.Anyway, DN, if you're in short supply of something when you come into Tunica, post it. At the very least, I'll be at the Player's Reception on the 20th (part of the media), so I can hook you up.

during the blog, Daniel said that he is going to bring his own food and then the camera looked towards Mushu-it made me laugh at the thought of mushu being food.

My mother-in-law and father-in-law are into all that health food crap. She more than he. She has fed the man rabbit food for years. In spite of it he has had health issues. Every year on Super Bowl Sunday I BBQ. I mean bigtime BBQ. I stoke up the woodburner and cook 8 to 10 slabs of pork ribs, several briskets, sausage etc. Anyone who comes by is invited. A couple years back the inlaws show up on SB Sunday in their Super RV. (damn thing is like a tour bus on steroids....I like to PO the mother-in-law by making references to them being George Jones and Tammy Wynette wannabes) Anyway here they show up, I got no food for veg-heads cause this is a meat and beer bash. I'm askin' the wife if her folks will be okay with just potato salad, cause even the beans have ham in em. The smell of oak and pecan wood and searing smoked meat fills the air. The pre-game shows are turned up loud on the big screen TV. The father-in-law has a glazed look in his eyes, then it happens. Total meltdown! He goes for the pork ribs. He picks up that Texas cooked, dry spice rub, melt in your mouth, juicy pork rib and starts to eat it right in front of the cold hard stare of the veggie witch!!!!!! There was a ringing in my ears, I was sure if his heart didn't blow up right there on the spot from sheer flavor delight, the veggie witch was going to kill him and I would get the blame. Then the veggie witch turned into the Tammy Wynette (stand by your man) gal that I knew she was and grabbed one up too. The father-in-law ate 3 plates of BBQ that day and didn't die. They went back to their veggie way of life, but he stll talks about the ribs.

Wow, that story was seriously so disgusting it gave me stomach pains. I would have took a ride to subway and stayed away from the dead pig, but that's just me.

Come on, we all know vegans are secretly just waiting for their chance to chow down on charred flesh popsicles.

I was in Tunica this weekend (with DNA and Renaedawn-soooo much fun!). Anyway, we stayed at The Grand and their buffet was mostly meat laden and fried. They did have a decent salad bar. The buffet was pretty mediocre, though. We did have a yummy meal at the Italian restaurant in the casino. I had fish, Ren and Denny (DNA's gorgeous wife-kissluvr on fcp) had chicken, but Ozzy (also an fcper and lucky enough to be married to Ren) had a pasta dish that was meat free. I had a bite. It was very good. Ooh and the soup I had may be vegetarian. It was a minestrone with pine nuts and pesto. Anyway, if you look hard enough, good food can be found in Tunica.

Yeah, the Grand's buffet is not what it was when it first opened. It used to be my favorite buffet in the Memphis area, period. Now...not so much.Anyway, you're right...there is good food to be found. But it is more hit and miss than usual.

I just got back from Tunica. I will not eat at the Grand's buffet. The poker chips are tastier...Seriously tho, the Grands buffet is pretty bad. It would be nice if the comp ticket was for ANYWHERE other than the buffet. Then again....Replays probably doesnt want 100 customers during dinner breaks :-) A lot of trips to Subway. (There is a 24 hour Exxon / Subway near Gold Strike for those wanting something other than burgers and buffets) The poker player buffet at the Gold Strike was......passable.....if you like noodles.....and hard bread..... Very cramped....oh and you have to hunt down a poker host for a ticket as they dont give them out at registration.

Daniel would you eat a cheeseburger for 10k in a prop bet like Lederer did? If not what would your price be?

If you dont get some fried seafood while in the south, then you are really missing out!

We're going to Tunica next weekend, (still trying to convince the husband to go THIS weekend TOO!, How's that for role reversal....the WIFE begging the HUSBAND to go to the casino's for poker?) We are staying at The Hollywood Casino, I have never been to Tunica, anyone know anything about The Hollywood Casino? Thank you
